Tyre Question:

[IsMad]

I know it is another relatively self evident newbie question but I need to ask, apologies in advance.

I have just had some Pilot road 2 tyres fitted, excellent tyre btw, and have done about 600 miles on them so far. I noticed that in the last couple of days the rear has felt a lot less settled and basically not right. I checked this morning and they had lost 4 PSI since the weekend. Now my question is; is this a suggestion of a puncture or can this happen as a once off? Do you knowledgeable lot have any wisdom to impart?

I ask as I am about to head off into Europe in a week and the last thing I need is to worry about replacing another tyre just before I go.

Was there a difference in temperature when you took the 2 readings? This bcan have a big effect. Also, you have a dust cap on right? Centro, centralf, the force of the wheel spinning causes small amounts to leak out.

Great tyres though eh??!!

Indeed I have a lot more confidence with these than I did on the 014s, just so stable when leaning in .

The temp was roughly the same, I made sure they were cold and there is indeed a dust cap. I will have to see if they have lost any pressure this evening.

Hmmm...that's me out then!!

If it is punctured it must be an extremely slow one to stay inflated that long. Have a good look all around the tyre for anything stuck in/sticking out of it just in case, but normally the best way is to whip the whole wheel off, dunk it in the bath and look for bubbles
